DERBY — A California man faces up to 20 years in prison for a drug trafficking charge after he pleaded guilty on Thursday, the Department of Justice said. Omar Villarreal, 27, of La Punte, California, pleaded guilty in Hartford court to one count of aiding and abetting the possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute and one count of traveling in interstate commerce to promote an unlawful activity. Court records showed that law enforcement officers stopped a tractor trailer on Route 34 in Derby on Dec. 21, 2016, and searched the cab of the truck. The search led police to find a package with 25 kilograms of fentanyl. The driver of the truck, Erick Crespo-Escalante, was arrested.
